The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

The Mid-Autumn Festival moon-viewing banquet was held at the Dehe Garden Grand Theater.

Things started to get lively in the afternoon, with the Emperor, Empress Dowager, concubines and princes entering the room. Ministers and generals also sat down at the table set with mooncakes and fruits.

The play lasted for a full hour, accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums.

"Well, well, this play is really good."

The Queen Mother's face flushed with joy. "Today I finally finished watching the entire play "The Female Prince Consort". I was very moved and shocked. If Han Suzhen was born a man, maybe she could really become the top scholar and marry a princess like a man."

Anle stretched her head over and said, "That's right. If I marry a girl who is the top scholar, I will definitely become sworn sisters with her. She is so amazing that she can even outperform men in exams!"

The emperor stroked his beard and turned to the empress dowager and said, "I admire Han Suzhen's boldness, intelligence, and loyalty. She did not despise Master Li because his family fell into poverty, but tried every means to save him. Such a woman is truly a heroine and precious. However, how could a woman be allowed to take the imperial examination? The examiner must have failed in his duty."

The Queen Mother said, "If the examiner failed in his duty, Han Suzhen would not be able to win the first place, would not be able to see the emperor, and would not be able to rescue Master Li. Master Li would be wrongfully killed in prison, and she would be forced to marry someone else. Such a pair of people who truly love each other would be separated forever. However, this is a drama, so we must make up some things that are inconsistent with reality."

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, looked towards the stage and said, "This is exactly what is so touching. A woman can have such great energy. What a powerful woman."

Lin Qianqian stood by and served the Queen Mother a cup of tea. "Queen Mother, women have such great power. Women have their own power."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother just turned around.

The emperor, the queen beside him, and all the beautifully dressed concubines turned their heads in unison to look at Lin Qianqian.

Several princes, emperors, and princesses in the back row also looked over curiously.

Lin Qianqian said calmly, "Women can give birth to children, which is something men can never do. When women give birth to children, they have already experienced what it means to fight against death. They are familiar with the men fighting on the battlefield. In terms of life and death, women will realize the preciousness and meaning of life through giving birth, and that only living can change everything. Women can endure pain and pressure better than men. They are like tough reeds and bamboos. As long as they are not cut down, they will stand firm."

The emperor asked, "How can you say that women can endure more pain than men? Men suffer far more than women."

Lin Qianqian smiled and patiently explained, "Your Majesty, I think women can endure more pain in this world than men. Women need to learn the Women's Rules, but men don't have to memorize them. Women must always remember the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, but men don't have to remember these either. It is precisely because they have more constraints that they can endure more."

The Queen Mother nodded.

The queen nodded after listening, and the concubines around her seemed to be thinking about something as well.

The emperor was puzzled and said, "You are right. What is the power of women? Aren't women so weak?"

Lin Qianqian replied, "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of these rules that they become patient and develop their resilience. With the same amount of setbacks, men may not be able to persevere, but women can definitely persevere and remain indomitable. Resilience is the strength of women, which men will never have."

The emperor pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Your insights are very unique and inspiring. I have never thought of this before. Now that you put it this way, I feel that I have underestimated women in the past."

"Life is cruel, but they always seem to be able to endure it."

After listening to what she said, the Queen Mother patted Lin Qianqian's hand and held one of her hands in hers. "Well said, Qianqian. I really like you more and more."

"I have never heard anyone say these words, nor have I ever thought about them in this way. I feel even more moved after hearing your words."

"After listening to these words, I feel a little more alert." Empress Xian, who was sitting next to the emperor, said blankly.

She turned around and faced Lin Qianqian. "Before, people always said that women are weak and should be gentle and weak. But now you say that women are not weak at all. They have their own resilience and strength. Such words are really good. I feel confident and powerful in my heart. I feel that I am not weak either."

Anle said with great relish, "I used to think that women were no worse than men, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Now that Qianqian has said it, I understand everything. She is so right! After what she said, I think women are very strong. Han Suzhen's story must be true, there must be women who are better than men."

The Ninth Prince, who was sitting not far away, saw Lin Qianqian being at ease around the Empress Dowager and the Princess, and even talking with the Emperor, and he looked down on her even more.

"This woman used to work in a brothel, so she naturally knows how to please customers. A flattering and singing prostitute actually won the emperor's favor."

Liu Zhen nodded, "Yes, Ninth Prince. Maybe her kneeling posture is more standard than others, and she can lick better than others. Now she is probably pretending to be noble for others to see. It's really ridiculous."

The Sixth Princess put down the wine glass in her hand unhappily and sneered, "Look at her, she is so proud. Does she think that she is superior to others just because she can say a few words to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager and win their favor? Little does she know that she is just a clown for others to amuse themselves, and the Emperor and the Empress Dowager don't take her seriously at all."

Gu Huai, dressed in his official uniform, sat beside the Marquis, looking from afar at Lin Qianqian who was talking with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager above. He felt that she was standing on a high platform, so far away from him, as if he was marrying up to her level.

She can now talk to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager in such a calm and peaceful manner. This spirit is so beautiful and powerful. He can't do it now, and he will never be able to do it.

She seemed to be more powerful and confident than the ministers sitting below. Which of them chatted casually with the emperor and the empress dowager like she did and exchanged ideas? The ministers only dared to kneel down and report official business respectfully, and there was definitely no chatting about private matters.

She stood there, straight and upright like a general. At a certain moment, she looked like a friend communicating with the emperor on an equal footing.

Why did he feel that she was like a general? He paid too much attention to her. When she frowned, stroked her hair, or nodded slightly, he could sense her subtle emotions. She was a general, but her weapon was words. She was guarding her own territory of thought. This was a struggle between thoughts and a collision of ideas.

"I really can't bear to leave you. If you leave, I will be so lonely and miserable in this palace."

The banquet was over. After a few drinks, the Queen Mother hugged Lin Qianqian like a rag doll. She pressed her warm body against Lin Qianqian and said, "Why don't you stay in the palace with me and just talk."

Lin Qianqian smiled and hugged the Queen Mother, smoothing her gray hair. She said to the old lady, "I am so happy that the Queen Mother likes me, but I don't belong to the palace. Queen Mother, don't be sad or reluctant. There are so many maids around you to serve you."

The Queen Mother shook her head. "It's different. You are different. There are so many new things about you. I can't get enough of your songs and plays. I like the stories you tell and talking to you. I get a lot of feelings from them. These joys, sorrows, anger and happiness are things that no one else can give me. I wish you were a palace maid."

Lin Qianqian understood that this was spiritual, or emotional value.

Of course, there are also stories that move me.

She gently stroked the Queen Mother's back, "Then there is no need for you to be so sad. If you want to talk to me in the future, just issue an imperial decree and I will enter the palace."

The Queen Mother nodded, and Lin Qianqian asked the nanny next to her to help the Queen Mother to the side hall to rest.

Anle came over and hugged Lin Qianqian, and suddenly leaned over and kissed her cheek, "You are going back to that marquis' mansion again, oh, it's so boring. How about you stay in my princess' mansion for two days? I miss the days when we lived together before."

Lin Qianqian smiled and said, "Your Highness, Princess, yes, I have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. I belong to the Marquis' Mansion."

"It's not like we won't be able to see the princess again if we return to the Marquis' Mansion. We can play together in the future."

"Okay, okay! Yes, we can play together, go boating, or go sightseeing."

Anle hugged Lin Qianqian tightly, and Lin Qianqian hugged her back. Anle suddenly said, "I feel like you are a caring older sister. You seem to always understand the little willfulness in my heart. It's such a wonderful feeling that others can't understand."

Empress Xian came over wiping her tears. She took Lin Qianqian's hand and said, "Really, I didn't realize it at first, but now that you are leaving, I realize how happy I was during this period. I have learned a lot and gained a lot. I really don't want to leave you."

Concubine Xian hugged Lin Qianqian and said, "You must get along well with the prince, and always remember that he is your support, so that your life in the Marquis' Mansion will not be sad."

"You should come to the palace to see me occasionally. You are my only friend."

Lin Qianqian held her hands tightly, "Well, Empress Xian, you have to take care of yourself. However, I just left the palace, why do I feel like..."

Empress Xian smiled and said, "I can't bear to leave you. Some people seem to have become lifelong friends after only a short time together."

She hugged Lin Qianqian into her arms and whispered in her ear, "You are my sister. If you can't stay with the prince, remember that I am here. My family is your family. I will ask my father to take you in and find you a good family."

Lin Qianqian couldn't help but be moved.

She didn't want to cry.

The tears just couldn't help falling.

"Empress Xian, thank you, thank you for liking me so much."

Empress Xian touched both sides of her cheeks, coaxing her like a child with a doting voice, "I just like you, I like you very much. This love makes me want to see you happy. You are braver than me, you should live a happy life."
